“Imagine ‘Drunk Ikea’ nights. You show your ID at the door, and then they get you plastered in the kitchen section, blindfold and spin you around a few times, and you have to find your way out.”

Even Odds by Elia Winters

I have no idea how this thing ended up on my TBR, which means it probably came from Reddit, so it has happened. Reddit recommended a book I liked! Plot: Isabel Suarez has been burned. At her last job as a programmer for a video game company, she started dating a colleague, and the rest of the fuck boys decided that meant open season for the rest of the them. After she left, she decided not to take any chances – best her colleagues think […]

Tied Score by Elia Winters

April 8, 2022 by Nart Leave a Comment

Second in the Slices of Pie series and stand alone novel with uncommon kink elements. Plot: Iris is an HR manager for a gaming company. She was raised in a strict religious family that broke down due to a pretty ugly divorce that left her with, practically speaking, neither parent in her corner. As an adult, she still rebels against her minister father by being sexually liberated. She rebels against the bounds of official monogamy, which she sees as stifling, by rejecting relationships outright. What’s […]

The Theme is Adventure

Best Women's Erotica of the Year, Volume 6 by Rachel Kramer Bussel

November 13, 2020 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

I didn’t entirely consider that I would be writing a review of erotica for the Cannonball Read audience when I requested Rachel Kramer Bussel’s Best Women’s Erotica of the Year, Volume 6 from NetGalley. I just thought about how much I wanted to read it. I got a copy of this arc from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I don’t generally review erotica because to do so in a meaningful way would get rather more revelatory than I usually do. With an anthology […]

A Road Trip Romance

Hairpin Curves by Elia Winters

July 27, 2020 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

Elia Winters is a new to me author, but yet another of those delightful people I follow on Twitter. I heard good things about Hairpin Curves before seeing it on NetGalley. It was a fun road trip romance read. I received this as an arc from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Megan and Scarlett were friends as teens, but that ended when Scarlett ghosted Megan after they made plans to be college roommates. When another childhood friend invites them to her wedding in Canada, […]
